Hi, Anne. Thank you for your interest in the Halstead surname project. If you have any information, such as dates, that correspond with the information you already gave, it would be very useful. Thanks again and good luck with your research!

Somewhere the Curtis and Halstead line got together as the male tested had all Halstead dna matches. If anyone knows of any Halstead's in Upper NY state by Canada, Illinois or Nebraska, please let me know. Thank you.
